Not working on MacOS Catalina: cannot access the camera

[alizbazar]

I'm getting this warning:

Opening System Preferences > Security > Privacy > Camera does not list Kap in the app list. It's also not possible to add Kap there by dragging. Not sure how to resolve this...

I'm currently facing the same issue.

Same here as well. Sad, I just got really excited to use this too.

[tarngerine]

same!

[tarngerine]

maybe adding this to info.plist can make it show up in the list in sys pref? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/cameras_and_media_capture/requesting_authorization_for_media_capture_on_macos

I just resolved this! I reset the camera permissions and then installed Big Sur. Rebooted and it worked immediately

[megaroeny]

Appears to be working for me now without upgrading to Big Sur. 🤷‍♂️

I got this to "work" by running the Kap binary in a Terminal window.
Then the "Terminal" app asked for camera access which worked.

Either start Kap from the "Terminal" app:
/Applications/Kap.app/Contents/MacOS/Kap
or
Select "Show package contents" on the Kap app in your Applications folder in Finder.
Navigate to Contents->MacOS and double click on Kap.

Same issue - Kap is not in the list of apps... see screen capture images attached.

Not planning to update to Big Sur at this time so a fix for Catalina would be much appreciated!

@megaroeny how did you do it？

It just started working out of nowhere one day 🤷🏼

I did get this error after recording though as usual:

I am facing the same issue on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. I've tried @gostaj suggestion, but no luck for me.

I accidentally fixed this issue by giving access to the terminal.

I dont see the camera settings under privacy. I have a mac mini which usually doesn't have a camera but I use a virtual camera input via NDI. How do I get the entry »Camera« under Settings > Security > Privacy?

macOS 10.13.6

[benjamindahl]

I tried to add it manually to tcc.db
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db

but none of the following entries worked for me:
INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.helper.Plugin',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.helper',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.helper.GPU',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.helper.Renderer',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.kap-camera',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.helper.Plugin.kap-camera',0,1,1,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.wulkano.kap.helper.kap-camera',0,1,1,NULL,NULL);

What has to be written here?

That's not a kap-camera issue.
